I'm wondering how long the immunity from the rabies booster dose lasts. I got my booster shots on the 9th and 12th of January, and now a cat bit me on the 28th. Should I be concerned about my rabies protection, or do I need another shot?

A sudden increase in heart rate can be alarming.
Given your hypothyroidism and thyronorm medication, consider the following possibilities:
- Thyroid hormone levels might be fluctuating.
- Anxiety or stress could be contributing to the increased heart rate.
Monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly.
Consult your endocrinologist or primary care physician to discuss potential adjustments to your thyronorm an appointment at the earliest to rule out any underlying conditions.

View allI recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 10 days?
For an accurate HIV RNA PCR test result, it's typically recommended to wait at least 10-14 days after potential exposure. Since you tested 15 days after the incident, it should provide a fairly reliable result, but the accuracy improves with more time. For complete certainty, consult with your doctor.

I'm really worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?
Continue same treatment.

I'm really stressed out because I had protected sex about a month ago, and now I can't stop worrying about the possibility of having contracted HIV. I'm not sure what to do or if I should get tested. Can you please give me some guidance on this?
I understand your concern, but if you used protection, the risk of HIV transmission is extremely low. However, if you're still worried, consider getting tested for peace of mind. It's always best to address your concerns with a healthcare provider who can guide you further.
